Alright, so here’s the thing. I stumbled across this chat from Strauss Zelnick — you know, the big cheese over at Take-Two — and he was being all coy about the price of Grand Theft Auto 6. Yeah, classic CEO move, right? It’s like, “Hey, we’ll totally tell you when we’re ready,” which is code for “We have no clue yet, but stay hyped!” Anyway, this all went down in an interview with Variety.
So, here’s the deal: GTA 6 pricing is still a mystery, but Zelnick, maybe trying to be all philosophical or something, said Take-Two aims to give us more bang for our buck. Really? More value than what they charge? Sounds kind of deep, or maybe it’s just a corporate spin — who knows.
Oh! Side note: GTA 5 is still going strong, can you believe it? Over 215 million copies sold. Like, who doesn’t own this game by now? Heck, with my reflexes, I wouldn’t survive in it, but that’s another story. Anyway, the whole franchise is close to hitting 455 million sales. That’s like… a lot.
Now, back to this whole price chatter. There’s been gossip, like maybe GTA 6 could end up costing $80, or, gasp, even $100! I mean, it better come with a gold-plated controller at that price. Zelnick didn’t really say much about it (shocking, I know), but he hinted at their typical playbook: launch with a hefty price tag, throw in some fancy editions, and then maybe bring it down a notch later.
And trailers! Oh man, they’ve been dropping hints left and right. First trailer hits 93 million views, and the next just obliterates it with 475 million. Insane numbers — or maybe it’s just people like me watching it on repeat, who knows.
So yeah, mark your calendars (or don’t, my memory’s a sieve) — GTA 6 is set to hit PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X on May 26, 2026. Feels so far away. Maybe by then, we’ll all be living in some kind of futuristic utopia. Or probably not.
